Since its release, the steady stream of updates have made Windows Vista noticeably less annoying to use. The biggest stride forward was the release of the operating system's first service pack, back in March of this year. Neowin.net now claims that the second service pack is on its way, with the first beta being dropped on testers in the coming four weeks.

Actually, I'm not, those bundled apps don't bother me, I use other software, and I never see them. I don't care that they are there, and anyone, anywhere can replace them with apps they choose.
The only bundled apps I use on a regular basis is WMP, the rest, I replace with OSS apps. It's not that big of a deal.
I have to uninstall and remove a bunch of crap from my KDE installs too, like koffice, kopete, a multitude of crappy media players, because I prefer different apps. I also have to install firefox, as I prefer it over konqueror, but you can't remove that from KDE. Boo Hoo. I don't care.
I just don't see the problem.

easy
a) Because everything can be removed replaced or choose an alternative, all at the touch of an add/remove button.
b) Interesting there is none(must be some) Greyware/Spyware/Adware/Malware/Scumware/Junkware/Suspectware simply by the nature of the software
c) Also Interestingly most of it is lock-in free using open standards and the like rather than proprietary ones which is often toted by those shackled by it as a positive.
But you know this your just playing ignorant.
